Abstract: A harvesting device comprises two shaker assemblies mounted face-to-face on a straddle carrier frame for shaking fruit-bearing trees or bushes. Each shaker assembly comprises a plurality of horizontal flexible material rods having a first end detachably fixed to an oscillatory vertical support, a median portion adapted to act on the fruit-bearing trees or shrubs to shake them, and a second end connected to the frame by a connecting link that is horizontal and perpendicular to a vertical median plane of symmetry of the frame. Hence, in operation, the second end of the rod is maintained at a substantially constant distance from the vertical median plane of symmetry. The connecting link is fixed to the frame by a rigid connection and is flexible in a substantially horizontal plane, so that, in operation, the end of the connecting link adjoining the rod moves to-and-fro substantially horizontally in a direction substantially parallel to the vertical median plane of symmetry.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et des procédés associés de purification et d'élimination des contaminants des fluides gazeux. Ce système comprend un logement doté d'une entrée, d'une sortie ainsi que d'une enceinte à ultraviolet allongée placée dans le logement. La source de rayonnement ultraviolet est placée longitudinalement dans l'enceinte à ultraviolet. Au moins une structure tampon placée en amont dans le logement permet de limiter l'écoulement et de générer l'écoulement turbulent du fluide gazeux dans l'enceinte à ultraviolet. Un ventilateur placé à un endroit précis dans le logement facilite l'écoulement du fluide gazeux dans le logement selon un débit déterminé. Les dimensions de l'enceinte à ultraviolet et de la source de rayonnement ultraviolet ainsi que la configuration de la structure tampon sont choisies pour, d'une part, augmenter le temps d'exposition et de mélange du fluide qui s'écoule dans l'enceinte à ultraviolet, et d'autre part, augmenter la proximité du fluide d'écoulement de la source de rayonnement ultraviolet.

Abstract: The invention described herein provides systems and methods for multi-modal imaging with light and a second form of imaging. Light imaging involves the capture of low intensity light from a light-emitting object. A camera obtains a two-dimensional spatial distribution of the light emitted from the surface of the subject. Software operated by a computer in communication with the camera may then convert two-dimensional spatial distribution data from one or more images into a three-dimensional spatial representation. The second imaging mode may include any imaging technique that compliments light imaging. Examples include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computer topography (CT). An object handling system moves the object to be imaged between the light imaging system and the second imaging system, and is configured to interface with each system.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a single-step method for rapidly and efficiently preparing protein-polymer conjugates, including an insulin-polymer conjugate. According to the method of the present invention, a protein and hydrophilic polymer are contacted in the presence of at least one organic solvent and at least one metal chelator, under conditions that promote the formation of a conjugate of the protein and polymer. Thus, the invention is directed to the site-specific modification of selected proteins, such as insulin, with poly(ethylene glycol) at residue PheB 1. The invention also provides a pharmaceutical formulation for encapsulating the conjugate in a biodegradable polymer.

Abstract: A novel 13-residue peptide Mo1659 is isolated from the venom of a the cone snail, Conus monile. HPLC fractions of the venom extract yielded an intense UV absorbing fraction with a mass of 1659 Da. De novo sequencing using matrix assisted laser desorption and ionization and electrospray MS/MS methods with analysis of proteolytic fragments yielded the amino acid sequence, FHGGSWYRFPWGY-NH2(SEQ ID NO: 1), confirmed by comparison with the chemically synthesized peptide and conventional Edman sequencing. Mo1659 has an unusual sequence with a preponderance of aromatic residues and absence of apolar, aliphatic residues like Ala, Val, Len, Ile. Mo1659 has no disulfide bridges, distinguishing it from the conotoxins and bears no sequence similarity with any of the acyclic peptides isolated thus far from cone snail venoms. Electrophysiological studies on the effect of Mo 1659 on measured currents in dorsal root ganglion neurons suggest that the peptide targets non-inactivating voltage dependent potassium channels.
